If you have thin corneas and were told you
were not a candidate for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis,
or LASIK (a corneal refractive procedure that requires the
creation of a partial-thickness flap before the cornea is
sculpted with a laser), PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) may be
a good option for you.

PRK may be a good choice if
you:

Want to reduce or eliminate your dependency
on glasses or contacts

Are at least 18 years of age, with stable
vision for at least one year

Have healthy eyes with no sign of glaucoma
or cataracts

Have thinner than average corneas

Have had previous eye surgery such as RK
(Radial Keratotomy)

Are involved in contact sports (boxing, sky
diving)

Have a job that may involve eye injury (law
enforcement, professional athlete)
